You can't beat it for removing rust, chopping out old metal, and even heavy duty sanding. I bought mine last year when I was replacing panels (all around the bottom) on my 77 Westfalia. It's been the best power tool I have ever bought, other than my coffee maker! It also comes in handy for muffler work or any other place you are likely to have rusty bolts and such. Finally, it's much easier to control than a drill with a grinding wheel, and you can get a much wider range of abrasivity when selecting wheels for it. --phil Philip Stephenson University of Wisconsin Engine Research Center
